[1] An African giant of a nation with a landmass of about 3m square kilometres. This will include about 800,000 sq kilometres of Sahara Desert

[2] A socialist secular nation with a population of 1bn people where power is devolved to the federating units

[3] A nation with a gross domestic product of about $30trn putting it in sharp competition with China, India, the US and a United States of Europe

[4] A country with an annual budget of about $5trn, of which 20% is spent on education, leading to a 99% literacy rate

[5] A military powerhouse with a standing army of about 10m men. One of their main tasks will be policing the Sahara Solar Farm, which will be the greatest wonders of the modern world

[6] An economy that accounts for about 20% of global industrial output

[7] A nation that accounts for about 25% of global agricultural output

[8] A nation that generates 50% of the world’s solar power. Our solar desert will make the Pyramids of Egypt, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Colossus of Rhodes, the Statue of Zeus, etc, look like child’s play

[9] A country that serves as the spiritual home of the negro. If blacks people are maltreated anywhere on planet earth we will organise an immediate evacuation as Israel did with Operation Solomon

[10] Once every two years, we will host Festac in a 300,000 seater stadium. This is a nation that will ultimately spearhead living on the moon!
